Best LED's for Z&P

[Reeferz123]

I want to get an idea on what "higher end" LEDs people are using on Z&P tanks with most color and growth.

I am running T5/AP700 with great colors and polyp size but growth is not there.

All of those are great choices.
What you have is also great.
It’s not the lights.

Do check your par.

80–150 in general.
Many will also do 200-2000 par. Seriously.

Currently Orphek appears to be producing the highest par so might want to include them on your list.

I have ap700 and other Kessils and the growth is great. What do you dose/feed your tank?

Your lights are fine. I’m only running T5s and see growth from my zoas. What are your parameters? Where are the zoas located in your tank? Are they in low or high flow areas?

its a 55 gallon low boy frag tank with the t5/ap700 ~12 above the water.

Water parameter are in check Nitrates at 10ppm my Phosphate maybe a little high tested with Hanna URL at 0.070 ppm.

I feed Reef Frenzy and Reef Chile two time a week.
